Problem GMO / Wind Turbine

BRN · August 16, 2022, 10:10

Hellow everyone,

I've been working on a simulation of a wind turbine at pool. My problem is;

when simulation starts the turbine itself start to sink and leave the domain

. I have no issue about water and material density.

For example when I modelled a simple floating cube. Mostly there was no problem but sometimes also the cube sinks and leave the domain to.

I dont know why this happens, If you could to help I would be happy.

Kind Regards,

Check the model dimensions and mass density of the cube. Take a look at the floating objects inbuilt example in HYDRO and it will show the setup (moving objects>coupled).
